Here's a video of some good ole barbershop quartet music I rather enjoy.
I think I'm beginning to get the hang of this ole bloggin stuff.
Had a great time with the in-laws last night and we pretty much giggled the night away. We headed to the airport about 2 hours early this morning (no surprise here) and we had no trouble getting through the process. I surely did enjoy the visit and now I have a near new Cadillac to play with for the weekend. Woo-hoo!
But I'm still missing the Missus.

Ba-Conrad has arrived!!
Day 3 of missing the Missus - For those who have already heard, then this is old news, but my dear Mrs Dr. and Hubby brought another love bug into the world. Haven't yet seen pictures of the little nipper but the Missus says he's just a speck and looks like his sister Princess. Gads, another irresistible grandkid for me and the Missus to spoil!.
Anyway, I've had a full day of gub-ment and some time to work on the household to-do list, but now I'm spent so it's time to crack open a cold one, pop up some corn, and see who gets voted off American Idol.
The in-laws are coming tomorrow night so I might miss a post. But I'll be thinking of you.

A day at the dentist
Just another day at the office but an early departure for a dentist appointment to get a filling. It wasn't all that bad but I laughed when I looked in the mirror. It reminded me of the Missus and our "stroke victim" photo when Trixie and company came to town for a visit.
I have a picture of the garage "work in progress" but I can't seem to get this dang technology figured out.
Maybe tomorrow.

Molten Cheese what?!? races?
Tis the first in a series of posts as I while away the days until I am reunited with My Sweet Baboo.
The conversation last night with Miss Judy was full of fun and way outa there concepts. Something about cheese slices on the grill that turn into flying objects that somehow turns into a race. Are you kiddin me?! Oh for pete sakes (as if Pete had anything to do with this?) But the conversation turned into coming up with names for new rock and roll or Indy bands. You know, Swirling Molten Cheese Gas, Busted Bran Muffins - go ahead, reply with a food related band name if you want. I know you got one in ya and it might be a giggle.
I'm kind of partial to Fake Ficus. I know it's not food but it just has a naughty and nice ring to it, don't you think? You know, like "Oh Fetch!"
Well, I need to get out into the garage and start the clean out, but here's to the Misses and them lucky grandkids who have the best darn Grandma in the whole wide world.

Dialin it back - just a bit
To all who are wondering just what the heck happened to me, well - I had a revelation that perhaps I should dial it back. Going to auctions twice a week and all the family stuff going on (not to mention my day job that tends to take it's toll) were clearly starting to wear me out. Something had to give and the auction gig was the obvious choice. I still don't have 2 cars in the garage but the piles of stuff aren't growing. And I still enjoy the Saturday auction, just not all day - but I'll be home more on Thursday nights.
And I actually had some time to do something else - which was having the boys (and girls) over for a little Xbox Halo-pizza party this last Friday night. What A Hoot! I gave the "Bdiddy" a run for his money and I truly enjoyed hearing how "that danged old Don-o-Death got me again". I certainly hope we can do this again and maybe even get a third TV-console-team set up. it's all good!
Well, it's time to get started with the "post-auction assessment" and make a load so you all take care and I'll be back later.

Wow Wee Woooo - what a couple of great sales!
let me just start by saying that the title of this post pretty much says it all and dang it all but I forgot the camera and didn't think to use my cell phone.
The pawn shop auction was as big and full of great stuff as advertised and me and the Mrs. stayed to the bitter end and got some sweet deals and awesome stuff. The details are just too much to describe but we got tools, Xbox games, tools, metal detectors, tools, - well, you get the idea.
And if Friday wasn't enough, I scored big (and I mean really big) at Musick's Snap On tool auction on Saturday. There was literally thousands of new and near new Snap On tools and just gobs of high quality equipment that seemed to go on forever! Thankfully a tax commission friend (yes it's true that even us auditor types have friends in the biz) was there and he was more than happy to help me keep track of my stuff, pile it up and even help load when all was done. All of this in an open barn type building at 25 degrees and a 30 mile per hour wind that cut right through you. We struck a deal on the side for all his help plus I've asked the Mrs. to reward him with a beverage of his choice the next time she sees him at bowling.
Needless to say, my car is no longer in the garage and scant chance of it getting back in anytime soon. But hey, watch our Ebay listings (over the next several months!) and you'll see what I'm talkin about.
Talk to you later

A regular Sunday
It's been a regular kind of Sunday around here, what with the "post auction assessment" most of the day, making a load for Main, having the folks and MK&R (no B) over for dinner, and now a little quiet time before heading to bed and starting another week. Not sure why this is worth posting but I've been kind of a slacker when it comes to posting so here's something new for you all to read.
The auctions this week were somewhat usual, with not much stuff at Caldwell, although at Main they had 4 bays of new merchandise from a local medical and welding supplies Co (Norco) and I left at 5:30pm and they still weren't done with it all. I'm sure the auction lasted into the wee hours of the morning. Anyway, I got some interesting and fun things so watch our stuff on Ebay in about a week or two .
But this next weekend is going to be a real hoot, as there is a pawn shop auction in Caldwell on Friday and Saturday and they will be running 2 rings both days. They have got a TON of stuff so take a look at this link http://www.downsauction.com/DUKESPAWN.htm. The Mrs is coming with me on Friday so I should have some photos for the next post.
There is also a Snap On tool auction on Saturday in Meridian which I will definitely be attending before I head over to Caldwell. And of course Sunday is the Superbowl and a fun time with the Wilkes, BMK&R and the folks.
That's about it for now.
